The Federal Republic of Brijska Drzava is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Leonardo Karminsky with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 9.89 billion Briacs enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Briwood. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bri economy, worth a remarkable 1,485 trillion B$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,220 B$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, Leonardo Karminsky steals from the rich and gives to the needy, shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, and expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Brijska Drzava's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism Rationalism and Science.

Brijska Drzava is ranked 22,294^th in the world and 1,598^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
